Quotes for Today


"Om is the dawn of Being in the Father, SAT. Om is the Being's Self-Awareness, its awakening to itself in the Son, CHIT. Om in the Third Person is the tremor at the ultimate threshold of sound which is the Spirit in God and in the Universe, ANANDA." Swami Abhishiktananda (Henri Le Saux, O.S.B.)


". .
it's really a process of actually having a realization of God, which all becomes clear with the expanded state of consciousness that develops when you chant. " George Harrison
"The Divine Name is your greatest treasure. It will fill your life with truth, purity, compassion, selflessness, nobility, and tolerance. It will awaken God-Consciousness in you. You will know that this world is permeated with the Divine Presence. This is the easy way to a life in God. Come, friend, waste not your precious time. Repeat the name . . .Live in God. Attain Supreme Blessedness." - Swami Chidananda
